What is your ratio of perilite and coco? That will determine how much to water also by the weight of the container. When it gets half as heavy as when you water good ahead and give it another feed. I've learned never let coco go dry or you'll have big salt problems. Good luck!

I wouldn't except maybe once or twice of the week. Think of it is as a gentle rain, keep them searching for water. so water just till runoff in the beginning then once they are bigger start running till 20% to avoid any salt build up in the coco.

Okay thanks chenwrck :d
So ill water just as they need it until I get a little run
When you say 20%, does that mean like if ed them 1litre. 200ml will run out the bittom ? As in 20%?

Precisely, just start eyeballing it and you'll get the hang soon. I can usually stop when I see the first bit of runoff after a good drench.

Good luck with your grow, also in the future if you can add pics it'll greatly help people determine your problem.
